Chapter 116 The Party is About to Begin
Theresa patiently waited for forty minutes, and after careful consideration, reconstructed some history in a distant place.
But as Bai Jie said, she couldn't find any history about the arsonist in the nearly one hour of history she had spent there.
With just that twenty-minute time limit, the other party would have already vanished without a trace.
Even if that weren't the case, she still couldn't find the arsonist. She could only use her ability once for the time being, and she didn't know if the arsonist would be on the path she was on to restore.
In fact, this direction leading to her villa never existed at all; it was completely wrong because Yali deliberately escaped in another direction.
"It's impossible... Forty minutes have passed, and that person has vanished without a trace..."
Theresa sighed, resigned to her fate, and retracted this part of history. Although she thought it might disappoint Bai Jie.
"It's nothing, just coveting it. I'm used to it. The thatched hut is still there..."
"But you've already left that thatched hut... If someone sets it on fire again..."
"Oh, it's alright, my old friend has lived too long..."
Bai Jie liked her host very much, but in some ways, she found the other party a little annoying because Theresa was just too kind, in every aspect.
Moreover, she had long since grown tired of staying in that thatched hut, where all she did was sleep, look at history, or admire the scenery... She felt as lonely as a dog.
"If you really want to catch that person, you might run into him again after dark... After all, they've been eyeing that piece of land for a long time."
"...If you don't care, then don't worry about it... It's getting late, let's go back, back to Naples... I'll take you to see my hometown..."
"Hmm, hmm, I've never seen this world before!"
There are still seven or eight hours until the next time I can use this ability, so there's no need to use it anymore.
Theresa then went back to the villa again.
By this time, Yali had stopped to rest, and was several kilometers away from the road that Theresa had left on.
"Actually, there's really no need... It's been so long, and Theresa hasn't come within twenty meters of me. There's no need to keep running..."
She was very relaxed, and even called out to her bald head.
Then they stared at each other.
"What...aren't you going to shout? 'Ah, the arsonist! The arsonist is here!' or something like that?"
"Heh...no matter how much I shout, it probably won't make a difference...because you've already dumped your former best friend...so you're the one who called me out. What do you want?"
The bald man thought for a long time in the darkness, and his original indignation gradually dissipated due to various reasons.
No matter what kind of bastard his host is, he shouldn't have any relationship with him, as long as he doesn't help them do evil, although that might be difficult to do.
However, he was afraid of dying and did not want Bai Jie to erase his existence, so he gritted his teeth and decided to keep his sense of justice to himself.
Yali had already guessed this thought; if she died, her substitute would die, and the cowardly old man certainly didn't want that to happen.
"I called you out here to use your misfortune to ignite these weeds; I need to dry myself off."
Yali shook off the murky water droplets clinging to her clothes; they came from some damned puddle.
She then took out a mirror from her pocket and smoothed out her messy bangs, which had become disheveled from running.
"...You actually took it out."
"No...this is just my own mirror; I didn't take that other mirror out."
She paused for a moment, indicating that she seemed to have forgotten about it.
"...But where's your torch? The kind you'd pull out of Doraemon's pocket?"
"Doraemon? What's that?... Anyway, I've run out of torches and lighter fluid... Now that you're out, just shut up and watch the flames of misfortune burn."
"..."
Yali had no desire to act anymore, revealing her crazy and vicious nature.
The bald man didn't respond to Yali's words; he just looked again at the flames flickering in the weeds beside him and muttered something.
"But... why are you just standing next to this small clump of weeds? Don't you want to start a bigger fire...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he returned to the darkness once more, as if his mission was already complete.
"If you have so much to say, you should just go back home now."
Seeing that the weeds had been set ablaze, Yali stood up and continued running. This time, she was also going back to Naples, but she would take a different route and not ride the tram she had taken before.
So she left behind the ever-growing flames and departed without looking back.
The fire burned for about ten minutes, and Yali had long since disappeared, but the dying embers successfully attracted the attention of some people.
"How did this place get on fire? We haven't even reached that house yet!"
The group that discovered the fire had their destination in the thatched hut, and their plan was to burn it down in order to acquire the land.
They were fully prepared and had adjusted their mindset to avoid appearing panicked in the haunted place.
"Why do you care so much! Our goal is to take that thatched hut... Instead of worrying about that, you should be thinking about how to avoid wetting your pants in this haunted place!"
"Hahaha..."
......
It was finally completely dark, and Chen, who had finished dinner, was finally going to attend the so-called sunglasses party at eight o'clock.
"I can't find that old man for ages... I guess he's really trying to scare me."
Chen Miaowen leaned against the ship's railing, playing with his phone and observing the possible situations that might arise on board, all while keeping a precise timeframe.
People wearing sunglasses walked by him, and some even chatted and laughed with passengers who weren't wearing sunglasses.
Everything is normal.
"Go find the female ghost's location... and see if she does anything strange at exactly eight o'clock."
"Can't find it..."
"With your splitting abilities, there's no way you can't find it."
Chen was stunned by Diablo's two sentences; how could he have forgotten about this?
"Okay... let's try it. No, wait a minute... I almost forgot, has my skill been 'poisoned' by Giorno?"
Chen denied the proposal again, and Diablo remained silent.
He believes that caution is a good thing, but being too timid is disgusting.
However, Chen is such a coward that Diablo doesn't think he can completely break and change his personality unless, unless another soul splits out and is devoured by him. After that, his personality will probably change again for a period of time.
As he pondered, Diablo fell silent, reflecting on why he cared about this fool.
"Whatever. What I said was just unnecessary advice for you, wasn't it?"
"....yes."
Chen could sense the sarcasm, but he just accepted it and checked the time on his phone again.
"Just half a minute left... but this feeling of urgency...where have I seen it before?"
